We started to watch Mirror Mask last night . . . weird. Kind of like a fantasy movie -- sort of like Pan's Labrynth (sp?). Trip to Seattle looked fun and tiring. Have you been to any hot springs yet?
Hmm . . . a bunch. Jerry Johnson in Idaho . . . one on the road to Klamath Falls across the Cascades . . . I can't remember them all. We've got a book on them. Be careful.
Idaho is such a beautiful place, and the people there are so nice and the sun shines a ton, mountains, desert, largest wilderness in the lower 48, Manuel, loads of dry snow in the winter, scenic highways, endless rivers, ...no agenda here
random mystery of the mind snippet and i just booked a program with the College of W&M. Laughter is one of the least understood of human behaviors. Scientists have found that during a good laugh three parts of the brain light up: a thinking part that helps you get the joke, a movement area that tells your muscles to move, and an emotional region that elicits the "giddy" feeling. But it remains unknown why one person laughs at your brother’s foolish jokes while another chuckles while watching a horror movie. John Morreall, who is a pioneer of humor research at the College of William and Mary, has found that laughter is a playful response to incongruities—stories that disobey conventional expectations. Others in the humor field point to laughter as a way of signaling to another person that this action is meant "in fun." One thing is clear: Laughter makes us feel better.

The beauty in you is your spirit. The strength in you is your endurance. The intelligence in you is your vastness.
That was beautiful. Now you owe me a Kombucha!!!
